here's a picture of the Wichita Great Plains Transportation Museum's other major locomotive. EMD FP45 cowl bodied passenger locomotive. 72' 4" long with a V/20 3600hp diesel engine these were very powerful for the day. none remain in service and the ones still in existence are all in museums somewhere. I believe there is one in California that is still operable. apparently the one in Wichita would still run if they could afford a starter for it. I've been in the engine room and a 20cyl diesel engine generator set is quite impressive.
